Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: A Muslim took from his father's money without his permission, intending to borrow it, and then returned it after a period of time, exactly as he had taken it, without anything being deducted from it. Does he incur a sin for this, given that he was in dire necessity? And what are the consequences? Please guide us. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Yes, he incurs a sin; because he took from the money of another without permission. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Musannaf Abd al-Razzaq 2:194 And that is not a loan. A loan must be from two parties, a lender and a borrower, and it must be with the willing consent of the lender. The lender must also be one who has the right to dispose of the property, because it is the property of a Muslim, and the lender has the right to dispose of it, so it must be from one who has the right to dispose of it.
And what are the consequences? The consequence is that you must return the right and ask him for forgiveness, and you must not repeat such an act.

Answer:
Yes, he incurs a sin; because he took from the money of another without permission. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
(peace and blessings be upon him)
صلى الله عليه وسلمThe money of a Muslim is not lawful except with the willing consent of his soul, so it is not permissible for you to take from the money of another without his permission,
لا يحل مال امرئ مسلم إلا بطيبة من نفسه، فلا يجوز لك أن تأخذ من مال غيرك بغير إذنه،And what are the consequences? The consequence is that you must return the right and ask him for forgiveness, and you must not repeat such an act.
